Naunie's coming!!!

this was my mom holding Griffin when he was just a wee bit old when she stayed with us..

I have been telling Griffin for the past 3 weeks that his Naunie is coming to see him and asking him if he is ready for her to come? I think he is ready and so am I. Tyler is even really excited. He loves my mom. The four of us (me, Tyler, Griffin, and my mom) have this special bond it seems. We have this bond between us because my mom and Tyler were the ones in the room when Griffin was born and she also lived with us for 15 days after his birth last May. She became part of our family for awhile and we all bonded in this really neat way during those first 15 days of Griffin's life. She especially bonded with Griffin. I think back on those sweet days in early May 2009 a lot. Those were some of the best times in my life- sharing my newborn baby boy with my mother. She helped me so much and encouraged me so much as a new mother. It is crazy that I have come so far in motherhood now. Things just come naturally now, compared to when everything was new and challenging and scarey at first. I needed my mom really bad then. But I still need her now too. I miss her so much. Her and my dad. I am thankful that she loves us so much that she would want to travel so far to see us and spend time with us. I cannot wait to make another week of memories with her-enjoying Griffin together, cooking in my kitchen with her, playing out in our backyard with Griffin with her, going shopping with her, and having conversations with her face to face in the mornings and all day.
Thank You, Lord, for my mother. She is such a gift from You I know. Bless the time we have together and use us both in each others lives to encourage one another and just love one another this week for Your great glory.
